Openness and Growth
Edited by James Proudman and Stephen Redding
The Openness and Growth book contains the proceedings of an academic conference held at the Bank of England in September 1997. The research described in the book investigates the link between productivity growth and the international openness of the UK economy. Is there a positive link? If so, to what extent does that reflect the openness of the economy to international trade, to flows of international capital and to flows of knowledge through the transfer of technology and research and development?
The empirical evidence of a positive link is persuasive. Countries which are more open have tended to grow more quickly. And sectors of the UK economy most exposed to international developments have tended to grow faster.
The book contains six research papers organised into four sessions. Each session contains the comments of one or more discussants and a summary of the general discussion of that session.
